Equal Time -
ARLINGTON, Va. — It took a second or two for Jaimen Ortiz to fully comprehend what he was seeing: two toddlers playing in an open second-floor window, and one of them hanging from the window sill.
So Ortiz hopped a fence and ran to the apartment building. Just as he got there, the 2-year-old girl fell, screaming. Ortiz put out his arms and caught her cleanly, perhaps saving her life and certainly preventing serious injury.
Now, I'm posting this to point out a couple of things.
One, both the Good Guy and the Bad Guys...were guys. The mother, wife, whathaveyou - not even mentioned. Good, bad or indifferent. Not part of the problem. Me likes that.
Two, it proves my point - good parents come in both genders. Bad parents come in both genders.
*smiles* It looks like he's no stranger to being a Good Guy - and he looks like a recent "immigrant."
Yeah, like this country doesn't need anyone like this guy. I'm going to drop the County Board a note asking them to follow Ortiz until he's granted his citizenship - the atta boy at that point would be well earned.
